Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ventilation system in which a silencer is disposed at an intermediate position of a ventilation path.
  • a silencer In a configuration where a silencer is disposed at an intermediate position of a ventilation path, it is required for the silencer to sufficiently silence noise propagating in the ventilation path while ensuring a ventilation property in the silencer.
  • a box-shaped expansion portion is provided in the middle of a ventilation path, and the expansion portion configures a silencer (see Fig. 5 ).
  • the ventilation path (hereinafter, an inner ventilation path) extending from an inlet to an outlet of the expansion portion and a sound absorbing member surrounding the inner ventilation path are disposed. Accordingly, silencing can be performed in the expansion portion while ensuring a ventilation property in the expansion portion.
  • the ventilation path narrows at an intermediate position of the inner ventilation path and widens on a downstream side thereof (see Fig. 5 ). Accordingly, as a flow speed of wind (air current) flowing in the ventilation path increases in the inner ventilation path, an effect of the sound absorbing member is more easily exhibited, and accordingly a silencing property improves.
  • a cross sectional area of the inner ventilation path is gradually changed at an inlet-side end part and an outlet-side end part of the inner ventilation path, and specifically, the farther from the inlet or the outlet, the larger the cross sectional area. In other words, the closer to the inlet or the outlet, the larger the cross sectional area of the inner ventilation path gradually becomes.
  • the thickness of the sound absorbing member surrounding the inner ventilation path changes accordingly.
  • the thickness of the sound absorbing member around the inlet and around the outlet of the expansion portion becomes thin. Decreasing the thickness of the sound absorbing member in this manner can decrease a silencing effect of the silencer.
  • the size of the entire silencer increases. As a result, it is necessary to ensure a wider provision space for the silencer.
  • the present invention is devised in view of the circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a ventilation system that solves the problems of the related art, specifically, that can ensure a silencing property while a silencer has a compact structure and that can suppress a pressure loss in a ventilation path.
  • a ventilation system has the following configurations.
  • the closer to the in-housing ventilation path the smaller the size of the cross section of the opening portion of at least one connecting portion of the first connecting portion or the second connecting portion. Accordingly, without decreasing the thickness of the sound absorbing member in the housing, a silencing property is improved, and a pressure loss in the ventilation path reduces. As a result, a silencing property can be ensured while the silencer has a compact structure, and generation of a pressure loss in the ventilation path can be suppressed.
  • each member used in order to implement the present invention can be determined in any manner in accordance with the purpose of use of the present invention and the technical level or the like at the time of implementation of the present invention.
  • the present invention includes an equivalent thereof.
  • a numerical range represented by using “to” means a range including numerical values before and after “to” as a lower limit value and an upper limit value.
  • the terms “orthogonal”, “perpendicular”, and “parallel” include a range of errors accepted in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
  • the terms “orthogonal”, “perpendicular”, and “parallel” in this specification mean being in a range of less than ⁇ 10° with respect to being orthogonal, perpendicular, or parallel in a strict sense.
  • An error from being orthogonal or parallel in a strict sense is preferably 5° or less and more preferably 3° or less.
  • the meanings of "the entire”, “any”, and “all” can include a range of errors generally accepted in the technical field to which the present invention belongs and can include a case of, for example, 99% or more, 95% or more, or 90% or more in addition to a case of 100%.

  • Sound insulation means blocking sound, in other words, not allowing transmission of sound.

  • the silencer 14 was disposed at the intermediate position of the ventilation path 12.
  • Example 1 silencing characteristics of the silencer 14 were measured for the ventilation system 10 configured as described above. Specifically, a hose made of a resin, which was connected to one connecting portion, was connected to a speaker, which was a sound source, and white noise was flowed from the speaker. In addition, a hose made of a resin, which was connected to the other connecting portion, was disposed in a reverberant chamber, and a sound pressure in a case of flowing white noise was measured in the reverberant chamber.
  • Measurement of the sound pressure was made in each of a case where there was the silencer 14 and a case where there was no silencer 14, and a silencing amount of the silencer 14 was calculated from a difference between both measurement results.
  • Example 1 the hose made of a resin connected to the one connecting portion was connected to a fan (not shown), and a wind speed meter was attached to the hose made of a resin, which was connected to the other connecting portion. Then, a wind speed in a case where the fan was driven while changing an applied voltage to the fan (in other words, a rotation speed of the fan) and the silencer 14 was used was measured by the wind speed meter at a hose terminal.

  • a horizontal axis of Fig. 14 indicates a frequency of sound (the unit is Hz), and a vertical axis indicates a silencing amount (the unit is dB).
  • the same degree of silencing amount was obtained. For this reason, it was found that an effect of the inclined angle of the inner peripheral surface (tapered surface) of each of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion on the silencing amount was relatively small.
  • Example 1 measurement results of the wind speed in a case where the silencer was used are shown in Table 1.

  • Example 1 As can be seen from Table 1, a wind speed in a case where an applied voltage to the fan was adjusted to each set value of Table 1 was larger in Example 1 than in Comparative example. For this reason, in Example 1, it was found that a pressure loss in the ventilation path was smaller than Comparative example, and ventilation performance was improved.
